Sexist Photoshop Of Dem Candidate Got Republicans In Trouble!

The Republicans photoshop a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate to the body of the Obama Girl.

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican minority leader from Kentucky is pulling his bag of dirty tricks again. Now that actress Ashley Judd isn't running, the Republican leader set his sights on the potential Democratic challenger, Alison Grimes (also known as Alison Lundergan Grimes).

The National Republican Senatorial Committee ran an offensive tweet of Grimes. They photoshopped Grimes face to Amber Lee Ettinger's body, the actress best known as the Obama Girl.

Democrats are looking for a suitable candidate who may be winnable in a Red State such as Kentucky.


Grimes, age 35 is the current Secretary of State in Kentucky. She is a pro-coal, pro-gun, and pro-choice Democrat. Grimes was born in Maysville, Kentucky. She is the daughter of Charlotte (née Case) and Jerry Lundergan, a former Kentucky Democratic chairman and state representative. Grimes was the third of five children, all girls.

As a child, Grimes knocked on doors on behalf of her father's political campaigns, and also drove voters to the polls on election day. Grimes grew up wanting to be a doctor, but changed majors in college after passing out while watching carpal tunnel surgery.

She is the strongest candidate the Democrats got so far. They hope that Republican infighting and the government shutdown could impact the race.

Republicans are going to use Obamacare and the good ol' dog whistle to win.

Now you know Obama Girl is the White woman who on Barely Political showing her melons around Barack Obama, then candidate for president. Her impact had attracted more younger voters to the president.

But her image is tarnished by Republicans. Because of her image being used in the videos, it's harder for Ettinger to get an acting gig without being "that Obama Girl!"


White voters from the South, are very pessimistic of the president. They attack the president mostly because of his race. They have no care for his policies or achievements. They just want him to just go away.

Republicans seek that type of vote. That's why they want to keep the heat on Obamacare. They believe that the pessimistic White voters will revolt against the president.

It's clear that President Barack Obama is not going to be involve in the race. It's going to be quite hard for him to win over constituents in the state. They may rally Bill Clinton to help campaign in the state.
Pretty smart. Alison Grimes is the Democrats most strongest contender against embattled Republican senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Democrats in the state of Kentucky usually vote Republican in a general election.

Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah are notable states.

No matter what the president does in these states, he can't win over constituents.

This incident may help boost her campaign funding. The NRSC was forced to apologize Tuesday after a junior staffer sent out a link to a image of Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes’ face photo-shopped onto a scantily-clad woman’s body. “Is Alison Grimes The New ‘Obama Girl’?” the now-deleted tweet asked the account’s 55,000 followers:



A spokesperson for the NRSC said it was a “mistake” to post the link on the organization’s Twitter account. “We agree, it’s extremely offensive. It was a mistake made by a junior staffer and disciplinary action has been taken,” she said in a statement. "We took corrective action as soon as it was brought to our attention and have taken steps to ensure it will never happen again."

Yeah right!

Grimes for her part released a press statement in regards to the offensive posting:

“The NRSC should stand for Notoriously Repeating Sexist Comments – they cannot relate or connect with the women of Kentucky or our country. The incredibly inappropriate comments from Senator McConnell’s team mark a developing pattern and demonstrate just how out of touch McConnell is with the women of Kentucky. As I have said, I am proud to wear a dress, and as Kentucky’s more than two million women know, it is not what is in the dress that matters. It is what is in the head and I will stack my head up against Senator McConnell’s any day.

You know I might chip a couple of dollars into her campaign.

Okay, here's the rundown of the U.S. Senate race in Kentucky.
Asshole Mitch McConnell, Republican senator from Kentucky.
The race is LEAN REPUBLICAN. It's going to be a tough race for Democrats to beat a well established campaigner. McConnell is well funded and battle ready. He'll fight dirty to win.

In hypothetical: say if Mitch McConnell wins this primary against the Tea Party challenger! He'll have really have to fight for his political future.

But if McConnell loses the primary, Republicans will win the senate seat. If Tea Party challenger Matt Bevin wins the primary, the Republican will hold on to the U.S. Senate seat.

Perennial Loser Mitt Romney: One Year Later, Still A Failure!

One year later they still continue to be total asshole.

CBS This Morning had the opportunity to meet Mr. and Mrs. Condescending. They come back to reflect on their days on the election trail and the great epic fail of Obamacare.

Perennial loser Mitt Romney had an opportunity to get a dig at President Barack Obama's handling of the healthcare law.

With Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell, the perennial loser and Ann spoke out against the president's "honesty".

"What starts twisted stays twisted," says the perennial loser to Charlie Rose.

"The real problem that the president has is a broken promise. That’s of course, what’s really striking at the heart of his term."

"When the systems are working, people will still lose, and already have, millions of people losing their insurance they were promised they would not," he continued.

"And you think the president lied to the American people on purpose for a political gain?" Rose asked.

Norah O'Donnell asks the perennial loser if the fighting within the Republican Party could damage their chances in the 2016 presidential election.

"The place that my campaign, and I, fell short was probably being able to speak openly and effectively to minority populations," he confessed.

"So, do you now favor an immigration proposal?" O’Donnell asked.

"I am absolutely convinced that the Republican Party must deal with immigration," Romney asserted.

I'm assuring that the Republican controlled House of Representatives will fail at pass comprehensive immigration reform. I won't make a $10,000 bet to prove a point.

Loserville Is Most The Trusted? Yeah Right!

NewsBusters logo
What is the Media Research Center smoking on?









I click on That Guy Who Throw Shit To The Wall's website and as usual more stories that focus on Black crime. More stories trying to mislead readers about the healthcare law. And the most ridiculous thing is a link to Newsbusters.

Newbusters is a conservative media watchdog group that covers allegations of liberal bias in the junk food media. It's founded by right wing extremist Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center.

Noel Shepard, editor-in-chief of the conservative blog takes an unscientific poll to prove that Loserville is the most fairest in coverage of the healthcare law and President Barack Obama.

Mr. Shepard, you really have to be fucking stupid. Not only that network has misled its gullible audience with numerous accusations towards the president but this network has sparked confusion, accusation and malcontent towards his allies in the Democratic Party or individuals they deem inferior to the conservative movement.

YouGov, a polling firm that associate with Loserville on occasions have conducted a survey of who's the most trustworthy in the healthcare debate.

They concluded when Americans are asked to pick the one source of information about the new health care law that they trust the most, Loserville tops the list. Most trusted by 19% of Americans, the basic cable news channel narrowly beats out 'friends and family' (17%).

President Obama (11%) is the third most trusted source, followed by National Public Radio (10%) and people's own insurance companies (9%).

So let me get this straight! If Loserville is telling their viewers and listeners about the healthcare law in a highly negative fashion, those family and friends will tell others. The constant harping of the likes of the turdporters, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, Greta The Ambulance Chaser, Bill-O, and the Bow Tie Manchild have also made the law more toxic.

Loserville has stroked the most contentious and outlandish attacks against the healthcare law.

The Republican lawmakers have avoided explaining the law to their constituents. They spent a majority of their time in the House and Senate trying to undermine the law and the president.
The Republican Party's press secretary.
They have a big microphone with the junk food media. Loserville and talk radio have motivate pessimistic WHITE PEOPLE to not sign up. It's a requirement by law for all Americans to have insurance coverage.

The WHITE PEOPLE who are fixated on phobias and irrationality are likely to be the driving force to having criticism towards the law.

Republicans are the party of WHITE MEN and EXTREMISTS.

Loserville is the press secretary of the Republican Party.

They made it no secret they attack the president on the most trivial things. From Dijon mustard to Trayvon Martin. From golf outings to his birth certificate.

Loserville has been in the forefront of the lies and hateful rhetoric of President Barack Obama, the Black and Latino communities.

They are plotting for a Republican takeover of Congress. They know the law will work. They've played every card they could afford. They've delayed the law and took it to court.

And despite the fallout, I believe that the law will work for the good of all Americans.

Democrats are spineless. They fear the reactionary. They fear the Republicans could take back Congress and drive this country back into the crapper.

If you are disappointed about the healthcare rollout, that's fine. Understand. Hear you loud and clear.

But seriously, all the hoopla and knee capping isn't necessary. It's just plain silly.

Republicans All Of Sudden Love Bill Clinton!

"The president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got," Clinton told OZY.com.
Bill Clinton criticizes the healthcare law giving Republicans more ammunition to repeal it.

The former President of The United States speaks to an online show and Republicans pounce on it.

Calling President Barack Obama a liar over "you can keep" is like saying former president George W. Bush saying Iraq harbored "weapons of mass destruction".

One clear difference of  Obama and Bush. Obama never sent people into war. Although he's a war president, he didn't lead American soldiers into Iraq. Bush did and has no regrets over misleading the nation into it.

The healthcare law is an ongoing obsession for the Republicans and its allies of the conservative movement.

They spent a majority of legislative time trying to repeal or defund the law. Like most lawmakers, they are to inform their constituents of the changes in the law. Most Republicans spent a majority of their time telling their constituents that they think "OBAMACARE" is a threat to the heart of America.

Now the left is really pissed at Bill Clinton. He speaks ill about the greatest achievement in President Barack Obama's legacy. He talks about it and the conservative agitators are saying "AH-HA, WE TOLD YOU SO!"

Now some liberal agitators are so pissed at Clinton, they promised that Hillary Clinton will suffer because of this. The liberals are threatening to derail a potential Hillary Clinton nomination.

Clinton said: "The president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got. [However], we're better off with this program than we are without it."

Even former vice president Dick Cheney is speaking favorably of Clinton's comments.

The House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has put his tissues in his purse. He goes forth with a statement saying "RIGHT ON BILL! RIGHT ON!"

Many think that the former president's comments have a negative impact on the law. Clinton's comments derail the White House talking points.
Boehner was weeping tears of joy when former president Bill Clinton spoke about the problems with the Affordable Care Act. The Republicans are obsessed with repealing the law.
The Affordable Healthcare Act was signed into law in 2010 and its been the scorn of Republicans.

The Republicans repealed the law over 45 times and even contested it in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled it valid and handed Republicans a huge defeat.

So during its implications, the legislators failed at addressing their constituents and hence forth a bunch of misinformed Americans who believe in "death panels".

Loserville and conservative agitators have spread malicious information about the law. It may force individuals to ignore the law and pay penalties for no complying.

Bill Clinton's comments have implications to the general electorate. He's still a popular figure.

What do you think of the comments?

Were they out of line, or in the place of what the situation is?

Do you think these comments could impact a potential Hillary Clinton bid for president?



______________________

Two months ago, the former president speaks about the healthcare law in a positive way.

The Face Of The Healthcare Marketplace Got Death Threats!

The model for Healthcare.gov told the junk food media that she face "death threats" and rampant harassment online.

It seems like conservatives and the reactionary have no shame when it comes to their fellow Americans.

The model who was on the beginning page of the Healthcare Marketplace is being severely harassed by those arm chair assholes.

Ever since it's launch, the Healthcare.gov website has been experiencing problems. All I've heard for the last few weeks is the talk of the website and not the law. I've heard turdporters and agitators in the media complain about the website day in and day out.

So much distortion and half truths plague the media. This has probably made the rollout a whole lot worse when you're the "official face" of the law.

The woman only identified as "Adriana" has spoke to ABC News about the ordeal.
Screenshot of young woman was removed.
When her face was the first thing you see when you went to the website, no one would expect her face to become a viral sensation.

Adriana, who asked that only her first name be used, said she was speaking out now to defend herself after weeks of enduring online lampooning.

"They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They're cyberbullying," Adriana told ABC News' Amy Robach.

The picture was ultimately pulled from the front page, which Adriana called a "relief."

"They took the picture down. I wanted the picture down, and they wanted the picture down. I don't think anybody wanted to focus on the picture," she said.

But a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told ABC that the photo was not removed because Adriana requested it.

Married for more than six years with a 21-month old son, Adriana reached out to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to inquire about having photos of her family taken in exchange for permitting their use on the website. She was notified in the summer that her photo would be used on the front page.

Calling herself "pure Colombian," Adriana said she's lived in the United States for more than six years and is applying for citizenship. Her husband is an American citizen.

Amy Robach of ABC News confirmed that she has breast cancer and its planning on having a double mastectomy in the coming months. Right now she will contribute to 20/20 while Elizabeth Vargas is out on medical leave for alcoholism and depression.

She was a victim of hateful rhetoric as well.

James Carville: Obama Should Toke A Crackpipe! He'll Be Popular Like [Toronto's] Mayor Rob Ford!

Tasteless joke by a hack Democratic strategist has riled up the conservatives.

James Carville is a former Bill Clinton strategist and married to Republican operative Mary Matlin.

He's called the RAGING CAJAN because of his combative debates. He misses them days over at CNN because Crossfire now has Newt Gingrich, S.E. Cupp, Van Jones and Stephanie Cutter hosting the show.

He and his wife were regular contributors to CNN. They were given the ax this year and now they appear on random competitors from time to time.

He's a "free agent" over at Loserville and Obama News. And whenever they invite him or his wife Matlin on, expect something crazy to come out of their mouths.

On Monday's Morning Joe, Carville was discussing the president's downward spiral in the polls.

He makes a "joke" about the president taking a cue from the embattled Canadian mayor Rob Ford.

Ford, the mayor of Toronto is facing heavy scrutiny after it was revealed that he was under the influence of cocaine and crack during his time as mayor. Gawker and other junk food media figures are paying huge sums to see the video of Ford toking a pipe.

The conservatives zeroed in on his notable quirk:

“I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are about 48.”

For one thing, that's pretty dumb for someone to say that. If Carville really wanted to raise eyebrows, he could have said, "You know Obama could have his own Monica! It saved Bill Clinton!"

The only reason why former president Bill Clinton managed to stay in the high job approval is the onslaught of criticism from Republicans when they were obsessed "Clinton Scandals". The tipping point was the impeachment of Bill Clinton because he had an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.

The Republicans were obsessed with her and Paula Jones. They were trying to get into the personal business of the president. They were trying to have him removed over sex.

In the case of President Barack Obama, it's his race. Carville quipped a "dog whistle". To compare the president to a corrupt mayor is pretty damn stupid.

It's probably why he was cut from CNN. This type of stuff isn't what CNN does. They don't want to be like Obama News and Loserville. They paid a price for neutrality. But in the long run, it may be its determent.

Carville, understand this. It's mostly his race that drives his polls down.

Because White voters are the most pessimistic when it comes to the economy. They are the most impatient when it comes to the healthcare law.

While a website isn't the full package of the American Healthcare Act, the ongoing stories about this stupid website and the minor problems that came when it was launched, this has dragged his job approval down.

For the three years since its passage, Congress hasn't motivate its constituents about the law. The Republicans and its conservative allies have deliberately misled and distort the law. The president's most staunch critics will not sign up for the healthcare benefits no matter what he tells them. The critics will then tell others to avoid the website.

People like That Guy Who Helped Obama Win have been notorious in misleading the public about the healthcare law.

Carville is friends with That Guy.

Another thing, he can't get nothing done with this inept Congress.

So I don't see where he can get an aggressive agenda done when you see either John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Mike Rogers, Steve King, Louie Gohmert, and David Vitter on every freaking news program!

They have no accomplishments other than the amount of time they spend in a front of a camera.

They haven't done much and yet we keep electing them.

So to James Carville and others like him, shut the fuck up!

The president is fine. He will do whatever he can to help the United States move forward. He will try to get things done with this lame ass Congress. Obama will succeed.

Obama: Sorry Y'all! I've Messed Up!

Obama News forces President Barack Obama to admit he broke his promise.

Takes a bold man to say "I'M SORRY".

But if you're the President of The United States, nothing will satisfy his detractors.

An exclusive interview on Obama News with Chuck Todd, President Barack Obama discusses the improvements with the Healthcare Marketplace. He told the Todd that he's disappointed with the rollout and wants it fixed quickly.

When confronted on the "If you like your healthcare, you can keep it!" remark which been fodder for conservative agitators, the president simply apologized to the Americans who lost insurance because of the Affordable Care Act.

Yeah, it's happening and there's are some who are upset over that.

He admits that he is disappointed in the rollout of the healthcare law and empathizes with those who lost insurance. He regards this as a failure of his leadership and hopes to get things moving in the right direction.

While the junk food media is so obsessed with the "you can keep it!" line, I just happen to take a look at the website and just look for the best option for health insurance.

The health insurance industry is making money hand over fist. They don't worry about how they distribute the product, almost all insurance companies rather see pay for junk polices. That means you pay over $550 a year for insurance that will not cover a catastrophic disease.

Americans are slowly starting to see the benefits of the healthcare law. There are some who are actually satisfied with the Healthcare Marketplace.

A website isn't the full piece of a law. It's just a portion of it. The junk food media over exaggerates stories to appeal to a core base of viewers. Most networks fear being labeled as "liberal" so they put these bogus stories out there to appeal to the conservative viewers.

And since he's in his second term and Republicans can't defeat him (seeing he's term limited), they can only say "I GOTCHA" and "I TOLD YA SO!"

It's a part of the political football President Barack Obama faces as the leader of the United States.

If you're that focused on that damn website and its turmoils, that's you! But seriously, we really need to focus on those who can gain affordable healthcare coverage.

It's only fair to see my rates down because I don't have to spend thousands of dollars for others who have no insurance.

The conservative agitators already pounced on the comments. Loserville has been in the forefront of trying to find every former Obama supporter to discuss their frustration with the website.

NOTICE THAT MOST FORMER OBAMA SUPPORTERS (OR DEMOCRATS) ON LOSERVILLE ARE WHITE MEN OR WOMEN! NO PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE FEATURED ON THE NETWORK.

IF THEY WERE, THEY WOULDN'T BE INVITED BACK, EVER!

Here's the interview from Obama News and the Loserville follow ups with "former Obama supporters".

Virginia Governor Race Could Predict The Midterms!

Virginia's race for governor could shape how the U.S. Midterms go!

Ken Cuccinelli is hoping that President Barack Obama's horrible rollout of  the healthcare law and low job approval could help him win a trip to the governor's mansion in Richmond. His opponent Terry McAuliffe is hoping to tag Cuccinelli to the Tea Party, supporters of the government shutdown.

Both candidates equally are poor campaigners but somehow, McAuliffe is looking likely to be a winner in this race.

Republicans can breathe a sigh of relief, New Jersey governor Chris Christie is likely to win this race in the politically Democratic state.

But Virginia on the other hand is trending BLUE. The state has never voted for the party in power when it came to the governor's race. Since 1977, it's been a mixture of one of two members of the opposing party in the Senate and one party in the governorship.

Cuccinelli is the current Attorney General of Virginia and the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia in the 2013 Virginia gubernatorial election. He was elected as Virginia's 46th Attorney General in the November 2009 general election. From 2002 until January 16, 2010 he was a Republican member of the Senate of Virginia, representing the 37th district in Fairfax County. He holds degrees in engineering, law and commercial policy, and co-founded a small law firm.

McAuliffe was chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005, was co-chairman of President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, and was chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 2009 Virginia gubernatorial election and is the Democratic nominee.

Cuccinelli is hoping Libertarian minded Republicans ignore Robert Sarvis.

Sarvis is an American politician, lawyer, software developer, and businessman. He is currently the Libertarian nominee for Governor of Virginia in the 2013 election. He was formerly a Republican. He decided to run under the Libertarian Party.

Cuccinelli is a controversial figure. McAuliffe managed to tie him to the extremists wing of the Republican Party.
Cuccinelli's running mate is a Black extremist.
Some of the words stated by the Republican nominee have made the rounds through the junk food media and many aren't liking it.

For one he is against the healthcare law. He was one of the first state attorney generals to file a lawsuit in federal court. He's anti-abortion. He's not in support of gay marriage. He supports the Confederate flag being held upon the state capitol.

His running mate E.W. Jackson is an extremist and of course, he's BLACK. He was hoping to use Jackson to appeal to Black voters. Jackson wants "us Black folk" to wake up. That's already turned off the Republicans who view Black lawmakers in a negative light.

That's probably why votes are siphoned off to the Libertarian nominee.

Republicans are pushing Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) his dad, former presidential candidate, perennial loser Ron Paul, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for the last ditch push to win this crucial state.

McAuliffe managed to secure big endorsements. President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Former president Bill Clinton and his wife former first lady/senator/secretary of state Hillary Clinton endorse him.

In the last days of the campaign, President Barack Obama pushed supporters to vote early and help Virginia go to McAuliffe.

Barack Obama carried Virginia in 2008 and 2012. Previously George W. Bush carried it in 2000 and 2004.

Could Virginia be the new bellweather state?

Maybe.

People always figured that Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and Iowa are the bellweather states.

Ted Cruz: I Hate Obama And Everything He Stands For!

Why does the junk food media give this asshole media coverage?

Today on That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website. A headline saying that controversial U.S. Senator from Texas has the audacity to say that the president is "an abuse of power!"

This asshole is one to talk.

In a mere ten months, the unaccomplished politico continues to win over hearts of the racist right and the junk food media. Merely just blowing stuff out of his ass, the Stallmigo talks to Fusion (an ABC and Univision affiliated network) about how he believes that President Barack Obama is a "dictator".

The president and this asshole met earlier this month during the government shutdown.

Cruz told Obama that any deal to reopen the government must also provide relief for those negatively affected by Obamacare.

He and 19 other senators in the Republican Party supported a continuation of the government shutdown in which thousands of workers were furloughed. And while they were running to the cameras demanding they open up veteran memorials while destroying the safety nets for thousands.

This Stallmigo is a thorn in the president's skin.

He actually thinks that bigot Jesse Helms is a "hero".

Republicans are fixated on the NSA, The IRS, the healthcare website, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the birth certificate, radical Muslims, cutting food stamps, and every other distraction.

Instead of keeping their promises on bringing jobs to all Americans, Republicans in the House and the Senate spent a majority of their two sessions trying to screw Obama.

Well hopefully they screw themselves.

I guess being from Texas, you're a politico with the ears plugged and eyes twice shut.

Wonder where this asshole was during the previous administration?

With that Edward Snowden getting a pass in Russia, it's almost impossible for the United States to snatch his ass up and have him stand trial for leaking classified information to the press.

Practically pissing off the world leaders over the National Security Administration's wiretapping of foreign nation phones and some here in the United States.

For one thing, the tapping of Chancellor Angela Murkel's phone started in 2002 and ended in 2011.

President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama are both responsible for what happened and they will owe up to it when history judges them.

But it seems like whenever there's a Democrat in the White House, the Republicans play upon the fears of the gullible and weak. But since we're dealing with the first Black president, this time it seems a whole lot different from the previous Democrats.

The president's job approval is relatively in the middle 40s. He can't seem to shake his job approval above 50%. Even after the government shutdown it's still hanging in the 40s.

The president maintained that he wants to pass gun control, immigration reform and continue the implications of the healthcare law.

All of this was met with obstruction from Republicans and that asshat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV).

The Stallmigo will continue to stall nominees along with his fellow trooper Rand Paul (R-KY) and that dip snot Lindsay Graham (R-SC).

We really need to uproot these clowns.

What's your thoughts on the Stallmigo?

CBS Turdporter Spinning Right Wing Talking Points!

Jan Crawford barfs up another misleading report about the Affordable Healthcare Act. She and Sheryl Atkinson are the two right wing hacks on CBS News.

Every morning I get up around 7AM to watch CBS This Morning. I enjoy the combo of Charlie Rose, Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King.

I've gotten tired of Today and all the drama over there. I'm guessing in the coming years, Matt Lauer and Jenna Wolfe are going to be scrapped. Carson Daly and Tamron Hall will eventually take the helm soon.

I am slowly starting to show a liking to GMA (Good Morning America), but they're too sappy on the stories.

CBS This Morning is pretty straight forward. None of that "Shove the camera in the yokel's face" stuff like on Today, GMA and Loserville & Friends.

But as of lately, I just turn off the television whenever I see that annoying right wing hack Jan Crawford on.

She's literally barfing up distortions. She's giving credence to the Republican Party by telling these ridiculous stories about how the Affordable Healthcare Act being a full of problems.

I didn't have much of a problem jumping onto Healthcare.gov. In the beginning, I had some problems but of course, I believed that it's mostly cause of the government shutdown. It took patience and I eventually got an account and I happened to scope out some pretty affordable plans.

The Republican Party and its conservative allies in the junk food media spin like bottle. They're kissing their chances at winning the Congress goodbye. After the government shutdown, one is to believe that the Republicans would be done with their obsessions with the healthcare law, Benghazi, Fast & Furious and the IRS scandals.

NOPE. Full steam ahead.

That annoying ass Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) is threatening to block nominations over Benghazi.

Stallmigo Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have threaten to block the FCC and Federal Reserve nominations.

Congressmen Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Mike Rogers (R-MI) are calling for investigations into the handling of the website. He and many Republican lawmakers have called for Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.

They're continuing on this onward path to another government shutdown and potential for fiscal collapse of the global economy.

Mediaite's Tommy Christopher debunks all the spin from that turdporter.

In his column, he observed Jan Crawford's report and fact checked her. She interviewed 56 year-old Dianne Barrette of Florida has become a North Star for those seeking to undercut the health care law by claiming that her premium increased tenfold under Obamacare, without disclosing that what Ms. Barrette was paying $54 a month for barely qualifies as insurance.

On CBS This Morning, Crawford reported that 56-year-old Dianne Barrette received a letter last month “from Blue Cross Blue Shield, informing her that as of January 2014, she would lose her current plan. She pays $54 a month. The new plan she’s being offered would run $591 a month, ten times more than what she currently pays.”

“What I have right now is what I’m happy with,” Barrette says in the report, “and I just want to know why I can’t keep what I have. Why do I have to be forced into something else.”

There are very good answers to her questions, answers which Crawford, either deliberately or through ignorance, failed to report, answers which are available to anyone with a passing familiarity with health insurance.

First of all, the plan that Barrette paid $54 a month for is barely health insurance at all. It’s part of a subset of insurance that Consumer Reports calls “junk health insurance” (and which even the company that sells it recommends that customers not rely solely upon) and it pays only $50 towards most of the services it covers. That’s it. If Dianne went to the doctor every week for a year, her plan would pay, at most, $2600. Meanwhile, based on average office visit charges, Diane would pay about $5,600.00. She probably doesn’t go to the doctor every week, of course, which means her plan pays a lot less, while her premium buys her a lot less. If she goes to the doctor, say, six times in a year, she’s paid a $648 premium for the privilege of spending another $600 on office visits. The plan also pays up to $15 per prescription, which will get you a few milligrams of most prescription drugs. The one decent deal on her plan is that it covers 100% of in-network lab services.

But many people just want the peace of mind to know that if something really bad happens, they won’t have to worry about being billed into the poorhouse. What if the worst happens, and Dianne needs to be hospitalized due to sudden illness or injury? Well, unless Dianne is suffering complications due to pregnancy, her plan covers nothing. If she’s having complications from pregnancy, it covers fifty bucks. It’s entirely possible that now-healthy Dianne is “happy” with this plan, but the whole idea behind the Affordable Care Act is that the rest of us are not happy having to pick up the tab if Dianne gets a disease, has an accident, or otherwise needs to go to the hospital. Frankly, though, Dianne would be better off saving that $648 and negotiating her office visits on her own.

The plan that Crawford compares Dianne’s junk insurance with (even BCBSFL recommends that customers not rely solely on GoBlue plans), on the other hand, is probably not the best deal available for the money if you’re planning fairly regular doctor visits, but it’s just one of many plans the company offers in that price range. It has a $6,250 deductible that applies to most services (the law requires routine care to be covered at 100%) before the plan pays. However, there’s a cheaper plan ($547/mo.) that covers the first 3 office visits per year at 100%, with a $40 copay after that. BCBSFL offers nine other plans cheaper than the one suggested in Dianne’s letter.

Like all Obamacare plans, of course, any plan Dianne chooses will have an out-of-pocket maximum of $6,350, versus the current $infinity that her plan offers.

Additionally, Crawford reports that Dianne “is eligible for some subsidies,” but “she has no idea what the subsidies would be because, of course, guess what, she can’t log on the website.”

Of course, Crawfod must know that you don’t have to log in to Healthcare.gov to get an “idea” of what the subsidies would be. If Dianne makes about $17,000 a year, in fact, she’d pay exactly what she did for that junk insurance, but even if she makes Florida’s princely median income, her premium would be a much more reasonable $332.50/mo. If Crawford had wanted to, she could have provided an accurate estimate of Dianne’s actual premium.

But how, you may ask, was Jan Crawford supposed to know the details of the GoBlue plan 91 that Dianne was on before, and the new BlueOptions Essential (HSA) 1419 plan she’s being offered? She could start by watching her own report, and its unredacted copy of Dianne’s letter:
Tommy Christopher debunks CBS turdporter's Obamacare story.
That and Google would have produced valuable information for Crawford’s viewers, information which might not have served the mainstream media narrative of the moment, but which would have cast Dianne’s predicament in a drastically different light. She’s basically complaining that a new car costs more than her old shoes. There’s a decent chance that Dianne Barett doesn’t even know what her current plan does or does not cover, but it’s not her job to inform the public, it’s Crawford’s. Now that her fake nightmare scenario has made the jump to the White House briefing room, it is absolutely essential that CBS News correct this misleading reporting.

Tommy Christopher concluded that Dianne Barrette has no idea what her plan covers, and her actual premium under Obamacare would be about a third what CBS reported. She tells the Erik Wemple Blog that her plan has a “$50 copay,” when in reality, that’s the amount her plan will pay toward an office visit (she’s responsible for the rest), she says it provides “outpatient only” hospital care, but the plan only covers $50 of a very narrow set of outpatient services (mammography, osteoporosis screening, diabetes self-management, and complications from pregnancy).

She also told Wemple that she makes around $30,000 a year, which would put her Obamacare premium at about $209/mo. That’s for a plan that is literally infinitely better than what she had.

Wemple also reports that Dianne will soon be appearing on three Loserville programs.

Thanks Tommy Christopher for flushing that turd's report down the toilet along with the rest of the misrepresentations of the law.

Hannity's Phone Prank Got Obamacare Phone Operator "ERLING DAVIS" Fired!



I've said this conservative agitator is the reason why President Barack Obama won.

He is clearly obsessed with the president. He can't go a day without name dropping the president or his allies in the Democratic Party.

The agitator is pretty much the reasons for why the Republican Party is so fucking screwed up.

The conservative agitator's phone prank got the unwillingly phone operator fired. He set the woman up.

He dialed the phone number to the Healthcare Marketplace. He talked to Erling Davis, the former phone operator for the Marketplace.

The woman Erling Davis is probably from Panama City, Florida. She was the person who took the call from That Guy Who Helped Obama Win. The agitator would ask the woman silly questions about the Affordable Healthcare Law and how many people have signed up for it. He would make the woman read the confidential script of how to deal with irate callers.

The woman unwittingly told the gullible audience all that information. Clearly going against her principles as a confidential worker. She clearly doesn't have an understanding to the purpose of her job working for the federal government.

Now to take some of the heat off of him, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win now wants to give a "gift" to Erling. More like "hush money" if the woman should sue him for unlawfully taping her conversation.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win fears that the woman might call the FCC or the management of Premiere Radio Networks, Inc. So in order to stop that, he gives her a stick with a carrot attached to a string.
Republicans are worked up over the healthcare law. The website has crashed a couple of times and Republicans want investigations.
Now as a gesture of his "appreciation" for the kindness of the phone operator, he allows her on his right wing carnival to tell her side of the story. Once again, putting herself in another situation where it may permanently harm her chances at getting hired anywhere. The conservative agitator prank had really attracted controversy.

This controversy blew up on the internet. Many people singled out That Guy for wasting valuable time for actual callers.

He got the word of the woman's firing from some on the internet. And I guess it touched the agitator's social networking sites.

So Erling Davis stated that she wanted to find another job. During the radio interview, she stated that her income is relatively low, and her previous employers were in the food service industry. The woman describes herself as a mother of two children. And of course, now unemployed she explains how upset the management was. She stated that the management had an "attitude" with her after she found out that her job was being terminated.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win vowed to help the woman (and probably others he set up) find jobs.

Yeah, like I believe he'll helped that woman. Just like he'll donate all the revenues for them sham Freedom Concerts.

Again, there's a reason why he was demoted to the 10pm time slot on Loserville. There's a reason why he was fired from Cumulus Radio.

If you want to help Erling Davis out, do me a favor and contact the FCC and Premiere Radio, Inc. and tell them that the antics by That Guy Who Helped Obama Win were inappropriate and have no place for radio.

Dem Senator: GOP House Leader Disrespected Obama!

President Barack Obama and Republicans have a rocky relationship to say at least.

"I can't even stand to look at you," says one Republican House leader to President Barack Obama.

Democratic Illinois senator Dick Durbin made the claim today and people are now talking.

Who says that President Barack Obama doesn't want to work with Republicans?

Durbin went to the social networks to post a claim that seems to measure up to how the budget negotiations went down. The Republicans were demanding that the president concede to their demands. The Republicans wanted to repeal the healthcare law and have mandatory spending cuts to safety nets. After pressure was brought upon the Republicans by those pesky polls, the Republicans caved in. They ended up with nothing.

The Majority Whip of the U.S. Senate had participated in the negotiations with the president.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)  Facebook
Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) post on the social networks about the negotiation battles with Republicans.
The Hill reports "Many Republicans searching for something to say in defense of the disastrous shutdown strategy will say President Obama just doesn't try hard enough to communicate with Republicans," Durbin said. "But in a 'negotiation' meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: 'I cannot even stand to look at you.'"

"What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?" the Illinois Democrat added.

An aide to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he had "no idea what [Durbin's] talking about."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Durbin did not say when the alleged confrontation occurred, and whether the exchange happened in the period preceding or during the shutdown that shuttered government for 16 days earlier this month.

In October, the president met once with Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) as part of a pow-wow with congressional leadership. McConnell told CNBC shortly after that discussion was "cordial but unproductive."



Later, the president invited the full House Republican caucus to meet at the White House, although a smaller leadership group handpicked by Boehner attended instead. In subsequent days, the full group of Republican senators traveled to the White House to meet with the president.

Of course, Republicans are going to deny this claim.

But if you look at the comment section of most blogs linked through a conservative outlet, the antics of right wing talk radio, and a cable news channel that runs 24/7 negative coverage of the president, seriously are you not going to believe those comments weren't made?

How many Republicans have the nerve to call for impeachment?

Remember Representatives [Addison] Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) famous outburst during the president's State of the Union Address?

Did you know that Representatives Darrell Issa (R-California) is continuously calling for investigations for every minor issue that happens to drive conservatives bonkers?

Aren't you familiar with the outrageous statements made by Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Steve King (R-Iowa), Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin)?

Aren't you familiar with the Stallmigos?

Yeah, Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) are the four Stallmigos. They're on television more than anyone else and yet have no accomplishments for it.

There's no denying it.

The Republicans unprecedented hate for the president is on record and people are starting to notice.

That's probably why the polls are saying that it's time to get rid of the House Republicans.

We can only hope next year, Republicans would overplay their hand and people vote these assholes out!

Stallmigo Ted Cruz: Obamacare Is A "Nigerian" Fraud Scam!

The stallmigo signals another fight.

The controversial U.S. Senator from Texas has no accomplishments in his 10 months as a lawmaker. But we in the junk food media continue to give him and his Stallmigo buddies (Mike Lee, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul) too much exposure.

The public should ask the politicos, what are they actually doing as lawmakers?

The only accomplishments these polticos got is basically media attention.

When you see Republican lawmakers running to the cameras shouting at rocks it usually gets play on the blogs and talk radio circuit.

Because these nitwits are elected on the hypothetical promises they tell the gullible voters of their respective states. When people are telling the lawmakers they've going the wrong way, they continue on the full speed ahead. Bringing destruction upon collision.

If the elections were held today, would these gullible people reelect these guys back to Washington?

Anyway, the country's most hated politico is well loved by the conservative faithful in his home state of Texas. He comes back to the state with open arms after his bitter defeat. He and many Republican lawmakers endorsed the government shutdown.

By voting against the bill open up the government, the Republicans who voted against it prove to the nation they rather see government workers suffer all in the name of politics.

Yeah, the politico Ted Cruz, Republican senator from Texas has been at the forefront of the opposition against the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare). He and Mike Lee (R-UT) have promoted this plan to defund the healthcare law. They wanted to tie it to the debt ceiling. The Republicans went on to play political suicide when the government shutdown leaned to a global recession.

The Houston Chronicle endorsed him in 2012 against the Democratic nominee. It had second thoughts after the senator endorsed the government shutdown.

The Chronicle renounced its endorsement and vow never to endorse political candidates.

Criticized by senior leaders in his own party and blamed by Democrats for inspiring a government shutdown they claim was a pricey, pointless and painful waste of time, Ted Cruz returned to his hometown Monday night to a hero's welcome bestowed by the tea party faithful who filled the headquarters of the King Street Patriots in northwest Houston.

The freshman Republican senator was greeted with cheers of "Cruz, Cruz Cruz!" and "Thank you, Ted!" from more than 1,000 supporters in a brief appearance at which he underscored his intent to keep doing whatever is necessary to undermine the "national nightmare" and "train wreck" that is the Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare."

"I've spent the past month in Washington, D.C.," Cruz told the overflow crowd. "It is terrific to be back in America."

As he did throughout the campaign that saw him demolish the once-favored David Dewhurst in the Republican primary and become an instant standard-bearer for the tea party movement, Cruz emphasized his independence from the "Washington establishment," which includes the leadership of the GOP.

"People are saying mean things about me," Cruz said. "Who cares? At the end of the day, I don't work for the party bosses in Washington. I work for each and every one of you. What they don't understand is that we're standing here together. We've got a problem in Washington. They're not listening to the American people."

Cruz returned to Texas over the weekend for a series of events in major cities. In informal remarks of about 15 minutes, he promised never to bend or compromise his principles. He chided others in the U.S. Senate for not holding fast and keeping the government shuttered, even past the debt default deadline, until President Barack Obama agreed to delay implementation of health care reforms.

"We saw the House of Representatives stand up and lead," he said. "They demonstrated a profile in courage as they listened to the American people. But they couldn't get past the Senate. The deal that was cut last week was a lousy deal."

While acknowledging defeat, Cruz said it was a temporary setback and that he and those who sent him to Washington expected a long fight. He did not mention the federal budget or deficit, focusing his remarks solely on halting "Obamacare," which he claimed was costing people jobs, a loss of coverage and increased premiums.

Cruz also took a swipe at the computer problems that have plagued people attempting to sign up online through the insurance exchanges that were created by the law to provide coverage. "You may have noticed that all the Nigerian email scammers have become a lot less active lately," he said. "They all have been hired to run the Obamacare website."

Cruz said the shutdown tactic was not a total loss, insisting the effort helped "elevate the debate" over the law. Stopping it for good, he said, would hinge on a grass-roots effort to win the debate.

Listen to the controversial and highly funny comedian Lewis Black tear into Cruz.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama Catching A Fainting Woman!

A woman faints and the president catches her. Conservatives go bananas over it.

Where's Erick Erickson when you need him?

He said that all this overreaction to everything that President Barack Obama does is going to doom the Republicans and its conservatives allies.

Erickson is right. There are too many outrage pimps on both sides of the aisle whipping the respective bases into a frenzy and fury against the other side. Americans shouldn't waste their time on being outraged by all things Obama. It's going to tune people out.

Erickson wrote that his conservative friends in the junk food media are spending too much time getting outraged over the most simplistic things caused by the president. He said that it makes conservatives sound like a bunch of sore losers. Americans find Republicans in charge of Congress is a bad idea. The plans rolled out by Republicans aren't effective. The Republican Party and it's conservative allies are stuffy, humorless, angry opponents of the President instead of happy warriors selling better ideas.

Conservatives, frankly, have become purveyors of outrage instead of preachers for a cause. Instead of showing how increasing government harms people, how free markets help people, and how conservative policies benefit all Americans, we scream “Benghazi” and “Fast & Furious.”
Right wing racist im41 makes fun of ill woman.
Erickson was right on two things. Examples like King Hippo (Rush Limbaugh), That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall (Matt Drudge), Loserville (Fox News) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (Sean Hannity) are professional victims dialed up to 10 on the outrage meter.

Who the hell wants to listen to conservatives whining and moaning all the time about the outrage du jour?

Perennial loser Mitt Romney ran a campaign on just how bad things are, but he was rejected by a majority of Americans who felt like he really did not care about them and really had no plans to improve their lives.

He said that Republicans can win if they have a "decent message" and appeal to people who aren't focused on the president 24/7. It seems like I mention these four notorious agitators frequently.

I am hoping that these agitators will be the sole reasons to helping Democrats retake the Congress and win the 2016 presidency. If these things should happen, maybe conservatives will turn off the radio and find other sources of news.

When it splashes on That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall's website. Liberal and conservative agitators will talk about this story and work their audience into a frenzy.

The person who fainted will get death threats and ferocious vitriol from the internet gadflies.

Some gadflies will try to leak her photos to the press. Some will try to find her social networking activities and exploit them for personal gains.

The person will make the news rounds. For the time being, she'll be the face of the nation.

She even has a blog. So I am expecting that within a few days, she'll be hit with random comments. Some of the word vomit will include death threats, insults on her character, praise and sympathy.

The president has to admit that Affordable Healthcare Act (Healthcare Marketplace) website has errors and he was telling the American people that you must have patience. He offered a number to help people out if they're having problems signing up.

Of course, Republicans pounced on the healthcare law and they've signaled another attempt to delay or repeal the law.

Sometimes you can't fix stupid. And yet, the Republicans continue on this wayward march to self-destruction.

President Obama's speech on Monday morning was briefly interrupted when a young woman standing behind him appeared to come close to fainting. The president turned around to make sure she was alright, saying, "I got you, you're ok," before she was helped away by others nearby.

The woman, identified as Karmel Allison, suffers from Type 1 diabetes. She also announced on her blog last week that she is pregnant.

"This is what happens when I talk too long," Obama joked before wrapping up his speech.

Of course we here at Journal de la Reyna wish Karmel Allison well. Hope the best for her on her journey to motherhood. Stay strong and ignore the vitriol of hate from the likes of those in the junk food media.
